On 25 April 2025, the RESOURCE team recently had a meeting with their PO, which has been a very constructive and timely exchange. As the project is approaching its final phase, this discussion came at a strategic moment. It gave the opportunity to the partners to review the overall progress and clarify any specific aspects.
The meeting started with a comprehensive presentation of the project current status, including the methodology, policy recommendations and updates on the RESOURCE pilots.
This was followed by few words from the PO, who provided an update on the European’s Commission roadmap. He highlighted that projects as RESOURCE, PDA programmes (8 of them) were initially launched to address the lack of investment in circular economy area and to reduce the gap between the research and commercialisation. He added that the Commission is currently collecting information from these projects to assess and to identify what has worked well and what could be improved. He concluded by indicating the uniqueness of the RESOURCE project, particularly in terms of its geographical scope.
It was a great meeting which concluded with the upcoming activity: RESOURCE present at the EBN Congress in Zaragoza on 18-20 June 2025.
